Thomas Wilfred Mugridge 1907-1997

You will find Richard on the 1939 register spelt as Walk.  He never married & he died 8.5.1949 & left a will.  He left £9,469 which was a reasonable sum back then.  Might be worth downloading a copy for £1.50 to see whether he left anything to his son Thomas

His address on the probate entry was Lower Tideford Farm - Cornworthy

Thank you so much.
Your detective work is much appreciated.
I have added him to my friend tree.

Hi Daiey,
As an order was made against Richard would it not seem logical to rule out William?
Cheers

I agree - I think it was a typo - his father was William & he had an older brother William Hodge Walke b 1866

Richard was b 1869 so was a lot older than Mary Hunter Mugridge

1911 census Mary is a servant aged 23 transcribed as Mary Hunter Meyridge.  Head of household is Henry Peeke

Found her in 1901 transcribed as May Mugridge aged 14 - servant to Walter & Philippa Grills

I agree that Richard looks more likely but I mentioned William as he was named in the other newspaper report.
I would like to see the original record to be sure, but I can't find a way to see it.

Sorry Daisy I did not notice that.
Mmmmm.
